Free Flash Tutorial

Step Three: The Back Button

1. Click on the Insert new layer button .
2. Name the new layer: Back
3. Go to frame 2 of this layer, right click, select: Insert Blank Keyframe
   You place the back button in frame 2 for the same reason that you removed the last frame of the play layer, except the play head will be going in reverse. If the play head is on frame 1, you cannot go backwards.
4. Open the Common button Library: Window > Common Library > Buttons
5. In the Library, double click on the Playback folder to open it.
6. Drag the gel left button, to the left side of the stage.
7. Close the Library.
   
   
   Your layers and stage will look similar to this, depending on what frame the red play head is in.
   
   The play head above is in frame 2. You can see both buttons
   
   If you are in frame 1, you should only be able to see the play button on the right.
   If you are in frame 45, you should only be able to see the back button on the left, and the car will be on the left.
